I like some things about the HTC One, but it has some negatives for me.

No SD expansion.
Non-removable battery. I've had 2 batteries for every phone that I have ever owned, simple or smart.
JB 4.1.2 instead of 4.2.2. Will it ever get 4.2.2? I'm still waiting for ICS on my Inc 2.

I never stop laughing over all critiques of "design". 98% of users are going to slap a case on these things, anyway, and then 95% of the phone you actually see is just screen.

You must be speaking from personal experience on that 98%. I would say cases are 50% amongst my friends. I occasionally use a case when I do something active, but go naked 90% of the time.
This poll from Android central backs me up

All my smartphones get dressed in a case, always have always will, plus the plastic helps keep the phone light as possible, heck the S4 is lighter than the S3, with a bigger screen, and thank you Samsung for keeping the home button.On another note HTC should just put a lid on it, I guess that's what happens when desperation kicks in. No removable battery and no SD card support is what has kept me and many others far away from this company, and their slow as snails software updates, heck their new flagship the ONE is being released with 4.1.2 while the S4 will run 4.2.2, and what's with that flip board clone home screen anyways.
